He's a very fluid back. Runs with a lot of ease. Runs to daylight/space very well. Tough as hell to bring down too. He would run into a wall of 3 defenders and not go down.

Didn't see his final stats, but I'm sure he put up 200 total yards. He's built like a DB, I can see why some schools recruited him there. He's got thick legs, but he's more lean up top. I'm sure that helps him stay upright after contact.

Saw him hurdle a guy that tried to cut his legs. Must have been three feet off the ground. Not exactly a burner. Think he might have had an ankle nicked up or something, cause I didn't see that burst/top end speed I was expecting.

Overall pretty excited about the kid. He looked comparable to me to Chad Bumphis in size and agaility which sort of surprised me, because I was expecting a Josh Robinson-esque type back.

I watched Chris Stamps at the Red Carpet Bowl. Overall not much to see, he had a couple of very nice and athletic kick/punt returns, but Terry didn't throw his direction at all. He did drop a wide open touchdown on a skinny post…I think he was just too wide open, sort of the Joe Morrow drop at Troy year before last. I am not 100% sure but I believe he forced a fumble and recovered it late in the game. There was a melee and I couldn't see the number but his teammates were congratulating him after the play. I'm not sure why he was in the game at that point as Warren Central played almost there whole roster after jumping all over Terry in the 2nd Quarter. One thing is for sure, he's going to have to add more weight/muscle.

I think Stamps is going to be very good. He'll be the next in the line of very good tall-rangey corners.
